Before We Fall (2013)
““You’ve carried this for so long,” I finally manage to say. “This has been so much to carry, Dominic.”
He sits slumped in the chair by my bed, his hands in his lap. I’m holding his hand, but his fingers are limp. He doesn’t even think that he deserves comfort. It’s heartbreaking and I feel mine shatter into a million tiny pieces.
“Dom,” I whisper. “You didn’t push her into Cris’s arms. This wasn’t your fault. She made the choice. Not you.”
He doesn’t say anything, he just closes his... eyes. I see that his hands are shaking, and it breaks my heart. Such a young girl, so much loss… and Dominic. God. He was so young, too. Too young to carry such a heavy burden.
My head pounds, but I ignore it as I roll out of bed and kneel in front of Dom.
“Look at me,” I tell him softly. He keeps his eyes closed, so I repeat myself more firmly. “Look at me, Dom.”MoreLess
